MIT Chapel Visit

Earlier this afternoon, I smooted my way across the river to check out Saarinen's MIT Chapel. It's nice to have a camera in your phone for spontaneous trips.

The building sits at the east end of the quad opposite another Saarinen, the Kresge auditorium. Atop the brick cylinder sits a metal sculpture by Theodore Roszak.

I am struck by the contrast between the door and the wall material. The color says "enter over here, please." Placing the entrance away from the most important facade intends to reward your exploration of the site. For example, in your wanderings, you can't help but notice that the whole thing sits in a shallow pool.

Being inside the chapel is a real treat. The shapes are simple, but the feeling is incredible. Over a white marble altar hangs a Harry Bertoia sculpture that reflects the natural light from above. It makes the light tangible, as if it is dripping down from the ceiling and flowing under the chairs.

GP Gloucester 2009 Race Report

The good:
-Holeshot off the line, with a BIG gap!
-Led the race for about five minutes.
-Free waffles from this guy. And he is not stingy with the nutella, either!
-Good friends who got up early to cheer me on, in the rain no less.

The bad:
-Asploded into a billion pieces after the first run-up
-Fell in the mud and got tangled, with someone's handlebar stuck in my helmet
-Couldn't hold on and slid slowly to 48th

The ugly:
-90 foot mud run up? Really?
-NINETY FEET OF GREASY MUD WALL.
-MUD. WALL.
